And here I was thinking today couldn’t get any worse.

They just got on one of those roles (the Hawkins off the ground, the Cameron on the line, the ball bouncing forward for them out of the centre).

I just want our boys to show what they can do. We aren’t 7 goals worse than this mob. We just need to stick together and support each other, and play our style.

Go the Dees!

    Yet we somehow lead in. inside 50s 30 - 27 ..... but no structure.

    Getting slaughtered in the middle. Leave Dogga in the ruck. Play Max forward. Move Tmac wing. More pressure on their mids

    Was Clarry playing Q2?

    One word. Uncompetitive when the finals heat comes on, and this IS a final. So much promise, so much hope, and bang. 7 goals in 10 minutes. That’s not just a fraudulent defence, that’s a contested embarrassment. In all honesty, who here thinks we can win the flag? And how? 

    Zero chance

     

    Out in straight sets I reckon! No response tonight is telling!

    The only comfort I'm taking is that the light is off us for now. Let Geelong, Port, Brisbane and co have it. If having this crap happen now means it not happening next week then so be it. 

    Going to Port isn't the worst thing in the world. Would give us the best chance to be battle hardened and my word if we do it over there we can do it anywhere.

    well that was a woeful quarter.  take oliver out of the picture we fall apart, especially with Petracca being held. too many passengers, we cannot handle their short game and our kicking efficiency sucks big 

    That was interesting for a while but its a long way to a flag now.

    Im sick of playing cats at kardinia but playing like this i guess it doesnt matter.

    Typical Melbourne, all season we have sat on top and in the final game we will butcher a chance to play a home final somewhere, instead we will have to travel to Adelaide to play port in front of there fans. 

     

    So the non-call deliberate against Adelaide has cost us top spot and a 'home' final.

    This is why we need more quality midfielders. After Oliver and Petracca it's slim pickings with Harmes Sparrow and Viney all having significant flaws.

    Can't expect Oliver and Petrecca to dominate all games all season long, and when their output drops its noticeable.

    We've covered for this by having an amazing defence, which works against lesser teams, but it's going to be found out in the finals and now.

    the good news is that we won't see geelong again before the prelim and it's our choice of venue.

    The smart coaching move here is to experiment but are we smart.

    By the way the code for experiment is to protect the team's pshyce from a thrashing

    Yes it is they are pumped

    This is what happens time and time again. We put all our expectations on the Melbourne football club. They let us down. We will start all over again and again. They will let us down again and again.

    I’m confident we will step up in the second half. We have stepped up all season when questions have been so I’m confident we will again. Result doesn’t matter at this stage but we need some sort of form to head into next week with. We can’t be as bad second half. Cmon dees

    think some supporters need to cool their jets here. We ain’t winning 7 in a row to win the flag. A tune up here and beat Port at home isn’t too bad. We haven’t lost twice in a row all year and there’s no way we’re losing 3 in a row.

    I'd go for the posts. The willful abuse of some of the players in this thread is just depressing.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
